Bq Cervantes 2, the perfect gift for this Christmas

Today we have decided to accept the difficult mission to analyze the device in detail bq Cervantes 2 developed by the spanish company bq and which at the time of its launch was considered the fastest device on the market.

The bq Cervantes 2 happens to be one of the most popular and best-selling devices in the difficult market of ereaders and that has some more than interesting characteristics that place it among the best devices that we can find in the market at a more than interesting price.

Before making any assessment of the various tests we have performed with the device, it is important to know the main features of the bq Cervantes 2:

Size: 168x120x10 mm

Weight :: 190 grams

Screen: E-Ink Pearl of six inches and cataloged as the whitest on the market. This type of technology improves the contrast by up to 50% compared to other electronic ink screens and being E-link it does not cause eye strain or produce reflections, even under direct sunlight.

Decision: 600X800 with a total of 16 gray levels

Memoria interna: Like most devices on the market, it is 2 Gigs with the possibility of expanding them up to 32 Gigs through a microSd / SDHC card

Processor: 800 MHz Marvell

Battery: Li-ion 1.000 mAh

Text formats: .pdf, .epub, .fb2, .txt, .html

Image formats: .jpeg, .png, .bmp

Files with DRM: .pdf, .epub

Connectivity: micro-USB 2.0. Micro-SD / SDHC ™ slot

In view of the main characteristics of the bq Cervantes 2 and its price, $99, we can talk about a very powerful device and at the height of some of the most important ereaders that we can find in the market although we could say that with some improvements on these.

And it is that its dimensions and its 190 grams of weight make it one, if not the lightest on the market. We could also add that it is the fastest on the market, with a page turn of only 0,7 seconds thanks to its Marvell 800 Mhz processor.

Between the negatives which also has them like almost all devices of this type and that we have discovered without investigating too much we can find its plastic finish, its few customization options in the visualization of texts and the impossibility of being able to use the dictionary from within of the document which makes it really uncomfortable.

Reviewing from total freedom is a good electronic book with great features, a very interesting price but with some flaw that can take away many possibilities. If you only care to read this is your device without a doubt but if you are looking for something else you should look for another more interesting option.
